Draft on Introduction of Article

-
After completing my interview with Bettina Downing, I created an introduction draft for my article. (This is my first attempt and I still have to work on it)


According to (Reeves and Keeble, 2014), there are many ways to start a feature news article. The examples mentioned in the book are:
  1. The case-study intro
  2. Quote intro
  3. Eye-witness intro
  4. The news intro
  5. Historical  background Intro
  6. Striking contrast into 
  7. The personalized intro
  8. Question intro
  9. The narrative intro

 In this case I have used a "Question Intro" starting off my article with a question. 
 I have written my draft before consulting this book and this book give me proof that I was on the   right track. I also included a peg in this introduction, also referred to as 'hook'.  The 'peg' or 'hook'  "explains why this particular piece is relevant to the audience, and why it is relevant now" (Reeves and Keeble, 2014)  In other words, it wants to give the audience a purpose to read the article.

Project Sign Off: Prada's Multiple Views

-

Last Tuesday, scrolling down my Instagram feed, I see Prada posting on Instagram a series of videos titled as Multiple Views in chapters from 1-5. These short films were created to showcase the Spring/Summer 2021 collection in a technologic and surreal way, how Miuccia Prada sees the world today- her vision for the "post-pandemic fashion market" (Madsen, 2020). Chapter 4 - Prada Multiple View Spring/Summer 2021 Chapter 4 was a obvious response to the world of today. Models were placed in different seating rows inside the theater due to social distancing with screens, mobiles, and virtual realty everywhere. A music that is almost scary, resembling horror films and staring looks all suggest the effects of technology and the digital era. Martine Syms, the photographer of chapter 4 created this video with the intention of showing what it feels like to live in these lockdown/digital times “I’m inspired by the way screens have come to make and unmake us, and what it means

Sequential photography made by me (individually)

My initial ideas on this task were to create a set of sequential images that had a deeper meaning compared to the set we created as classwork. I came up with the idea to shoot a set of sequential images whilst giving money to a man in need. I decided to place the action of giving the money halfway through the images because I wanted to create a sort of narrative within the images. In this way, I was able to show the difference in the man's expression before having the money and after having the money. As you can see below, I drew a storyboard sketch to demonstrate my initial idea. Storyboard sketch: Process of Editing: I took the pictures with my phone and I changed the original color to a black&white filter using my camera settings.  Then, I edited the brightness of each photo to a higher level still using the camera settings on my phone.                                                                               I chose the pictures that
